Our president deserves respect from everyone

What you think - Readers react to the president's speech to Congress

I was an independent. After Wednesday's grossly disrespectful and inappropriate display by elected Republican representatives, I am a firmly voting Democrat.

It was shameful -- unfortunately, a typical Republican show -- selfish, close-minded, and certainly showing a political agenda and not respect of country.

I will not be voting Republican in the future and will continue to support our president. I am embarrassed for our country as the world watches these addresses by our elected leader, and, no matter what personal views are held, all should show respect to our commander-in-chief.
